1/27 Show
Yuzuki Reon as Mata Hari
Katou Kazuki as Ladoux

To be honest, the real reason I watched this (aside from Reon & Kazuki) is the fact that Mata Hari was my first assasin in FGO. I do not regret it one bit, I will grail her and make her lvl 100 !!

I have the play guide for this musical and I will refer to some of the songs with the English title instead of the Japanese one because I am too lazy to search up the kanji hahaha

Spoilers ahead!




Report!


I don't really know when and where to put my comments about the difference in 1/26 & 27 so I'll just write em down as I remember them. Comments on the performances will be at the bottom of the plot!

The musical begins with a group number that I couldn't really understand what were they singing about. I think it was just there to establish the fact that there was a war brewing between Germany and France. If my world history is right, this should be during WW1 (or 2 haha). The show then "cuts" to Mata Hari doing her dance number and it is AMAZING! They really make use of Reon's dancing background for these scenes.

From Natalie

I checked out the Korean (original) choreography and it's so different! The Korean version was more of an exotic strip tease show but the Japanese one was just sexy dancing. Later on it's revealed that her dance is part of some kind of a ritual so it's a bit holy. Her dressing room also has a statue of an Indian(?) god doing one of the poses of the dance.

After the first dance, General Ladoux of the French Intelligence knocks on Mata Hari's backstage door (YEAH I MENTIONED THAT BECAUSE KAZUKI MADE THE MISTAKE OF NOT KNOCKING DURING THE 1/27 SHOW) and asks her to be a spy.

From Okepi
Mata Hari of course says no and that's ridiculous. Ladoux says that it's too bad since she's already a great "impostor". Mata gets really triggered and sings a SUPER GOOD SONG (I won't go back) about not going back anymore to her old life(?) (sorry I was enjoying Reon's voice and the composition of the song to actually pay attention to the lyrics, see! We need a DVD!)  then they move on to a party where Ladoux basically convinces his superior that Mata Hari would be a great spy.


A quick comment about this scene.
On the 1/26 show it was shrouded in darkness, Satou's Ladoux was convincing his superior on the 2nd floor of a building with no lights focused on them, it was all on the 1st floor people but on the 1/27 show where Kazuki played Ladoux, this scene was well lit. I'm not sure why this is but I actually enjoyed the no lights version a bit better since it was a "ooh we are plotting something evil" moment.

Ladoux's wife sees him and his superior talk about something that "catches his eyes" and she takes a guess and says "Oh! Is it that cute blonde girl over there? I know you like--" "It's Mata Hari "No! Not that fake woman!" (her exact line was 女優の顔がしている女)   that's just something that interested me because this woman knew what kind of person was she. I mean, I guess it was obvious from a woman's standpoint? Anyway moving on, the next scene was finally with Armand! Mata Hari exists the venue and she is greeted by 3 drunk soldiers who want her autograph. She gives them that but the men harass her and sexually harass her for more. Armand comes (seemingly out of nowhere) and fights these guys but ends up getting beaten up cause he's weak as shit.

From Pia

Mata hari calls the police and the three soldiers skidattle. Mata comes to his aide and insists that he come with her so she can take care of his wounds. Armand reveals that he was just there because he wanted an autograph too but now he can't believe that Mata Hari is actually inviting him to his house--it was a really cute moment!!

The scene then changes to Ladoux singing about his plight about protecting his men on the battlefield. To be honest I dont understand the song because I was just MESMERIZED by Kazuki and Satou Takanori's singing. Their voices hit the high notes and their voices dont crack even as they change from a high to a sudden low. ALL OF LADOUX'S SONGS ARE THE SAME KIND so they're all amazing to hear and watch. I...I just really enjoy all of his so---COUGH moving on, after this song it moves to Armand waking up inside Mata Hari's house. He wanted to leave immediately but Mata stops him and asks him to look at the sunrise with her. He mentions that he's an army pilot and he really loves the view of the sun rising, Mata then echoes this love of the sunrise saying that her name means sunrise in Indonesian. They end up talking about what will they do after the war ends and then sing a song about it. They were about to kiss after the song ended but war sirens started to ring.

PIC SPAM BECAUSE I FUCKING CAN I WILL DIE WITH THIS OTP

From E-Plus

OK I HAVE TO RANT ABOUT THIS PART

During 1/26 Run, Kazuki as Armand they looked SOOOOO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO IN LOVE while singing this duet and talking about their future. From the moment Armand wakes up he was like a boy that had puppy love or smth for Mata Hari and by the end of the song number it really looked like they have found each other's soulmates

BUT!!!!!
During the 1/27 run, with Higashi as Armand HE LOOKED SO STIFF AROUND MATA HARI LIKE??? DO YOU EVEN LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOY CONVINCE ME THAT YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH HER AT FIRST SIGHT!!!!!!!!! I am really mad because I ship Mata and Armand so hard during the 1/26 show LIKE?? THEY WERE SO IN LOVE???????/ There was a part where Mata Hari was explaining her dreams after the war and Higashi just basically had a smug face on... LIKE WHY MAN!!!!!!! AT LEAST SMILE AND PRETEND YOU'RE INTERESTED JFC and During Armand's monologue on what to do after the war Reon was just basically smiling like a school girl like!!!!!!!!!!! *****SPOILERS******* SHE LITERALLY RODE A TRAIN TO GERMANY FOR YOU CAN YOU AT LEAST JUSTIFY WHY SHE DID THAT??????? HER WHOLE MOTIVATION IS LOST IF ARMAND DOESN'T SHOW HIS LOVE FOR HER IN THIS SCENE JFC ******END SPOILERS*******

On the next scene, Ladoux comes to see Mata Hari again after a show and asks her decision about being a spy. She finally agrees and Ladoux rejoices. He then tells her about the details of her first mission. On her next show to Berlin, she has to get a pen with war plot information from another French spy and hand it back to Ladoux. After he leaves Ana, Mata Hari's assistant warns her that she is making very bad decisions about agreeing to be a spy (via song of course). Mata Hari reassures her that she can do this since it's just another facade that she will add to her repertoire of identities.

Mata's performance on Berlin then starts and after it she is greeted by one of the Generals of the German army.

From Eplus

Apparently he is a huge fan of hers and even held a party right after her show just to welcome her to Germany. The aforementioned French spy with a pen is supposedly in this party and Mata Hari vigilantly scouts all the people who asks her for an autograph for the spy. When she found the spy (they have a secret word/greeting) MY FAVE SONG STARTS TO PLAY HELL YEAH I LOVE THE SONG "TO CATCH A SPY" THIS THE BEST SONG IN THE ENTIRE MUSICAL FIGHT ME.

From okepi
Before she could sign the guy's um thing, someone announces that there is a spy within the party and the military people arrested someone else that looked suspicious so Mata eventually gets the pen and excuses herself from the party (she said she was feeling quite tired from the trip). Instead of going back directly to Paris and reporting back to Ladoux, Mata decides to go to stop by in Lyon on her way back so she can spend time with Armand.

From Lmaga

In this part both of them share parts of their past but I honestly FORGOT EVERYTHING WHEN THEY SUDDENLY SAID "MY CHILD, LOUISE" and "MY DARLING CHILD, LOUISE!" good thing I watched the show twice so I actually did catch it hahaha

Mata Hari reveals that her real name is Margaret (I googled her real last name and it's MacLeod but in this play it's like ツェレー idek why) and she came from an abusive household so she ran away to Java. She eventually started a family with a guy there and unfortunately her husband was an alcoholic and he had times where he raped their maid. As revenge, the maid killed their baby (LOUISE). During the funeral of the baby Mata was inspired by the ritual dances that they did so she decided to learn it herself and go back to Europe. After this sad story ARMAND AND MATA FINALLY KISSED AND I AM SO HAPPY and then after a black out while they were enjoying their wonderful time together, a guy from room service suddenly knocks and delivers them a drink.

From Natalie


The guy says that the hotel staff were so honored that Mata Hari left them an autograph in the front desk so the hotel wants to give her wine as a token of gratitude. Mata welcomes the guy to their room and then she insists to give him a tip for his hard work she reaches into her purse AND PULLS OUT A GUN

Mata never left an autograph for the front desk and swears that this guy is up to no good. Armand fights him and ends up shooting the guy.

Then it changes the scene back to Ladoux, he is anxious as to why Mata hasn't returned yet with the information. An informant comes into the scene and delivers a note to him. After supposedly a few moments Mata comes and hands him the pen that he needs from her. Mata says that this will be the last time she'll do anything for him as a spy but he says that it'll be over when he says it's over. A soldier then comes in and says that "#97"(i might have gotten this number wrong) is here. Ladoux needs to talk to #97 alone so he then asks Mata to leave via the back door (so no one will see her when she leaves).

Then in comes Armand, Ladoux asks him how's MataHari as a spy, is she a reliable person etc. Armand says that she is and she's a great person. Ladoux then doubts his statements saying maybe he had personal attachments to her thats why he's reporting this way. Armand denies it but Ladoux shoves the letter in his hands to him and asks him to read it. It was basically their sign in at the hotel in Lyon.

Due to this mistake, Ladoux then assigns Armand to the front lines of the air force. Armand begs him not to but Ladoux was so mad so he did not waver. They had a really nice duet in this part!! Armand then begins to write a goodbye letter to Mata Hari saying that he might not be able to return anymore since he is sent to the front lines, without revealing the fact that he was sent to spy on her. They share a REALLY REALLY nice and sad duet while writing/reading the letter here. It might have made me cry but I have a stone heart so I didn't haha

The next scene cuts to a young pilot, Pierre, saying he doesnt want to be in the front lines a all, a lot of soldiers come to stop him from running away. Armand eventually comes and talks some sense into the boy and he ends up calming down and trusting Armand's words. The scene ends with the pilots flying off into the sky.

OK IM SORRY BUT I ABSOLUTELY FORGOT WHAT HAPPENED BUT Armand, Mata and Ladoux sang a song together. I'm not sure if it belongs here because its just right before the half time break or if it's somewhere later on in the play. Anyway, I wanna mention it cause it's great haha if I remember that it comes later on in the play it'll probably be here anyway.

From Eplus
The second act opens with another dance performance with Mata Hari, I think this is the only time that she ever performed with male back up dancers and it was AMAZING. As you can see in the photo they were all over her and in one part they even lifted Mata up into the air.

The next scene opens to a few women singing about their husbands who went into war, Mata soon joins them as he waits for Armand's return. After their song, Pierre comes out looking disheveled and wounded. The women all approach him while Mata stays at the sides, just eavesdropping on their conversation. He then reveals that a lot of the men from their troop have fallen and only a few survived. Mata then runs to him and asks him about Armand, he says he doesnt know what happened to Armand and just had a painful look on his face as he walked away from the crowd of women.

The scene changes to Armand lying somewhere on the battlefield injured and his right hand bleeding. He rolls off whatever place he is in (the set design made it look like a small hill but I'm honestly not sure what it is) and starts walking around while singing about not wanting to die. Some German soldiers eventually find him and he then tries to fight them off but one soldier sneaks up behind him and knocks him out. One of them then orders Armand to be taken away, the Germans have a need for these pilots.

AND NOW COMES MY FAVE SONG HELL YEAH

From Natalie
In an act of desperation, Mata goes to Ladoux's house in the middle of the night to ask information about Armand. Ladoux is reluctant to give her any information but she pleads and he eventually gives in and gets a book of some sort and starts reading from it. Note, he looks at her coyly while reading from the book he looks as if he's lying about the information that he's telling her but Mata just believes him. Both Kazuki and Satou did it this way and honestly I am still confused to this day why they decided to do that--because the information that he tells her is actually 100% true. Armand is in a hospital in Brussels(? I-I can't remember ;o;) and he was last seen not doing to well. Mata thanks him for this information BUT!!!!!! IN COMES MY FAVE SONG!!!!! Ladoux basically sings about wanting Mata Hari but we all know that Mata doesnt like him so she just runs away from him. Ladoux's wife sees the whole song and is upset by the whole thing

NOW FOR THE CHANGES!!!!!!!!!!!! I NE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ED!!!!!! TO TELL!!!! NOW!!!!!!

Ok, as you can see in the photo, Satou is wearing his robe as he seduces Mata Hari. To be honest during this scene I had no fucking idea what he was doing until he sat that (as in the photo) close to Mata. The dialogue and song lyrics (what little I understood) all imply that he is threatening her to do something and not actually trying to seduce her to becoming hers. SATOU'S VOCALS WERE FUCKING AMAZING OK I LOVE THEM LIKE I SAID I COULDNT PAY ATTENTION VERY MUCH BECAUSE I JUST REALLY ENJOY HIS SINGING VOICE. I LEGIT FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM HERE I LOVEEVEVEVEVEVEVEE HIM IN THIS SCENE!!!!!!!!!! Even if I misunderstood his intentions but I FUCKING LOVE HIS SINGING VOICE OK

Now onto Kazuki,
As you all know I watched Satou's Ladoux before Kazuki and I firmly believed that Kazuki was a weaker singer than Satou (in terms of Ladoux's role, more on that later) BUT IN THIS FUCKING SCENE OK

IN
THIS
FUCKING
SCENE

He wore his robe on his shoulders, I was wondering why he did. Maybe it was just one of those "So you can tell it's a different actor" moments BUT NO PEOPLE NO!! After he reads the info about Armand and keeps the book away, and after Mata sits in that moss green chair INSTEAD OF quickly sitting beside her and pinning her to that side of the chair HE THROWS HIS ROBE BESIDE HER (I THINK REON WAS EVEN STARTLED?? THIS MAY HAVE BEEN SCRIPTED BUT FUCKING LORD OK) WHICH MOMENTARILY STUNS HER AND HE SLIDES HIMSELF BESIDE MATA

GOOD FUCKING LORD THE ART OF SEDUCTION IS FUCKING REAL JESUS CHRIST 

OK HE DOESNT STOP, AS YOU CAN See in That image, Ladoux slides his hand on Mata's leg and OH mY GoDoDODOdoDODOd i think my binoculars were alredy shaking too much cause as far as I remember Kazuki had his hands in the middle of her legs (unlike Sarou who had it at the side) BUTOK IT COULDVE JUST BEEN ME

IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF WINTER, -1 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND I WAS FUCKING FANNING MYSELF FROM THIS SCENE JESUS

Also another side note,
Ok Also when Mata Hari tries to run away Ladoux pulls her back but she escapes after a few tries of pulling herself away from him.

OK I AM CALM NOW LET US CONTINUE

After learning Armand's whereabouts Mata begins preparing to leave for Brussels. Since she knows Ladoux won't allow her to leave as Mata Hari she then uses her real name, Margaret, so that she can travel to Brussels undetected by both the French and German government. Ana tries to stop her from doing this because it will put her in danger but she still proceeds to do it because she wants to choose him over herself.

As she rode the train to Brussels my fave spy song is sung by the passengers. It's also one of my fave bits, it was amazing! It really built up the tension if Mata was gonna get found out in the immigration or not haha. She gets through the immigration by saying that she wants Germany to win the war (despite holding a Dutch passport which was a neutral country at the time) and she'll go to hospitals to help the wounded.

The scene changes to the hospital and the nuns? nurses? sing a song for the injured people, I think this was a song that involved the plot moving along but the song sounded so creepy I couldn't pay much attention ahaha
From Eplus
Margaret/Mata eventually finds the hospital Armand is confined in and claims that she is his wife so she can go and see him. The nurse? nun? believes this and lets her see him. A quick note, Reon stuttered her lines during this scene in the photo during 1/26 and it was cute ahaha OK SHE IS A GODDESS IF SHE CAN MESS UP SO CAN I

Anyway, Armand is shock to see her in the same room, he is super happy that she is but he could not help but worry if Ladoux would allow her to do such things--yes, he accidentally reveals that he is spying on her. Mata doesn't take this very well and runs away from him. Armand tries to run after her but he just falls of his bed.

From Natalie

Cut back to France, Mata is upset and demotivated to perform because of what she just learned. She tells Ana all of these and she's thinking of quitting as performing as Mata Hari. Ana tells her to not do that via a song and that she is very happy that she can be by her side if she is performing. Mata gives her a hug and finally gets motivated to perform her number. Before she ends her preparations, a knock comes on their door and a man (a soldier a I think) orders for the arrest of Mata Hari. Ana tries to stop them from arresting Mata saying she'll report them to Ladoux for doing something so absurd. The soldier takes out a piece of paper from his coat and tells them "That's funny 'cause look who ordered this arrest."

Ok I just said that first to make it more dramatic haha but right before the scene written above, Ladoux's boss gets a report that Germany is suing them for espionage because they found out that France was using Mata Hari to get information from them. To avoid negative public image and to shift the blame away from the French intelligence, the military decided to arrest Mata Hari for her "crime" of espionage; this means that they will make it look like she was selling inside French intelligence information to the Germans instead of admitting that the French intelligence actually employed her. Mata Hari regularly receives financial gifts from her fans, some of which are high ranking military officers, so this was the perfect set-up for framing her.

After that scene, we then switch to Armand back in Germany having a realization that he needs to go back to Mata in France. He's basically in a wheelchair singing about his feelings but then he suddenly stands up and runs way. After a few moments a nurse? male nurse? comes back to pick him up but they see that he is gone and searches the facility for him. He safely gets away.

From Eplus

In the next scene, Ladox is seen interrogating Mata Hari before the court. He accuses her of her crimes and Mata Hari basically says "You know that's not true right?" and when Ladoux reveals her true name she's like "Why do you even need to ask that? You know that's my name?". He then enumerates her other jobs before she became an ~exotic dancer~ one of which was being an escort. This basically shocked the gallery which Mata refuted with "I had to do everything to survive!" The trial basically continues in this fashion but we suddenly cut to Mata Hari dancing. I honestly do not understand the symbolism here but she just dances her routine while getting accused of ridiculous things. She suddenly snaps back to reality and Armand barges into the court room. Sadly, there is no sudden 異議あり!(OBJEKSHUN!) But he was objecting to all the accusations and admits that Ladoux used him to spy on Mata, Ladoux quickly interrupts him and claims everything he is saying is bullshit. Arman then grabs his collar and tells him to stop lying about that and it basically turns into a small fist fight. That is until Arman draws a gun from his pocket and points it to Ladoux. Ladoux was basically unfazed and tried to wrestle the gun out of his hand but he ends up shooting him.

Ladoux is shaken by his actions and he runs away, Mata runs to Armans aid and tells him over and over again that it's going to be okay and they're going to live happily together when the war ends but Armand has already accepted his fate and just said his final "I love you, Margaret" and dies. Mata clutches his dead body and weeps. Back to Ladoux, he clearly shows remorse for his actions as he can not accept what he has done. He sings a sad ballad (that ends in a super high note) and fades to black.

When the curtains open, we see Mata Hari looking at a really large mirror. Ana comes in from the side of the stage holding flowers, but she wasn't wearing her usual outfit, she was wearing something with more dull colors. Mata greets her without facing her, just looking at Ana's reflection from the mirror. Ana asks Mata how is she doing and if she's alright. Mata responds with "What do you mean? I'm doing great! How about the seats? Are they filled? Are there any important people in the audience?" (her usual lines before starting a show)

Ana is taken a back, she couldn't answer Mata.


THEN
FUCKING
THEN

The prison bars start to lower, it is revealed that Mata Hari was arrested for her crimes of espionage. And I proceed to cry like a bitch BUT MOVING ON

A guard comes in and tells Ana "It's time." Ana pleads to give her more time. The guard agrees but only for five minutes.

Ana shakily responds to Mata's questions with "Yeah! The seats are all filled! They're all waiting for you! I think even international reporters are here to watch your show!"

From Eplus
Instead of another performance, Mata is then seen walking around but then she is suddenly shot by a firing squad. Then her final ballad is sang and the show ends.

Now for my general opinions!



Actors



OK FIRST OF ALL I FUCKING LOVE THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN KATOU KAZUKI AND YUZUKI REON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  To be honest, I was expecting them to be really awkward and have just like 5% chemistry because from their pictures in the interviews they didn't look like they looked good together BUT OK HOLY SHIT THEY?????? LOVE??????? EACH OTHER?????? MY PARENTS?????? UH???? I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!??????

That's why I spammed them early on haha. Like for real look at these videos. LIKE COME ON!!! LOOK AT THEM!!!!! SO IN LOVE!!!!

That's why I ranted so much about Higashi (Ton-chan) as you read in the story, the play made it look like they fell in love at first sight BUT IF YOU DONT ACT YOU LOVE EACH OTHER WHATS THE POINT OK YOU BETRAYED YOUR COUNTRY FOR THIS PERSON AT LEAST LET THEM LOVE YOU BACK!!!!!!!!! ACTING SUPER IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER IS INTERGAL TO THE PLOT!!!

Oh, you might say I'm being nitpicky because I like Kazuki NO OK LOOK AT THEM!!!! STARE AT THOSE PHOTOS!!!! You can tell how good their acting was because even I who only picked up bits and pieces of the plot UNDERSTOOD that they were in love.

Which leads me to my next point, Ladoux.

I honestly HONESTLY
H O N E S T L Y

Had no fucking idea that he was supposed to have the hots for Mata Hari. I mean, sure it's pretty much given that he should but he has a wife? And from the first parts of the play it really looked like he had more of an admiration over lust for Mata but that fucking scene where he seduced her MYYyyyyYY ggOoOoDOODODODODodOD LORD!!!!!!!!! That was amazing. I mean ok here I'm totally biased for Kazuki  YOU READ IT OK but still ok I really like the song none the less. It was pretty clear from this scene that he did lust after her but I wish it was more uh, less subtle. Maybe because they hid it in his songs that I didnt pick it up. Both Kazuki and Satou had really nice voices pls excuse me I just wanna enjoy that! Over all, I think both actors did a really great job with Ladoux but Kazuki was kinda awkward compared to Satou's confident and authoritative Ladoux but if you know Kazuki, he's always like that lmfao

There is always a hint of awkwardness with his acting it either fits really nicely or it doesn't. And in this case, it kinda doesn't haha

NEXT, ARMAND

OK YOU KNOW I LOVE KAZUKI HERE THERE IS NOTHING TO SAY MORE ABOUT HIS ACTING. HIS AWKWARDNESS WORKED REALLY WELL WITH ARMAND'S CHARACTER!!!!!!

Ok now onto Higashi Keisuke (Ton-chan), I actually never realized that he was in TeniMyu until after I saw the show so lmfao ok yay me! His chemistry with Reon wasn't that good? I honestly don't know why but it wasn't as magical as Kazuki and as for him as an actor IT JUST LOOKS SO WEIRD OK HE WAS ACTING ALL NONCHALANT WITH MATA HARI FUCKASDHASIDAGSUYDSIAD FUCKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS A WAR!!!!! YOU RISKED YOUR LIFE FOR HER BUT YOU DONT GIVE ME ANY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT YOU LOVE HER THAT MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With him I finally understand why people say "first impression always lasts" because I was just upset the whole fukin play until Kazuki's Ladoux seduction scene. Im just really upset with him, my friends tell me to forgive him cause he's still young and a bit inexperienced BUT I FUCKING PAID 12,000 YEN TO SEE HIM DO HIS JOB AND YOU FUCKING MADE MATA HARI LOOKED LIKE A KATAOMOI WOMAN WHO RISKED HER LIFE TO GO TO GERMANY FOR FUCKING NOTHING I AM AN UPSET HUMAN BEING OK DONT

DO NOT

Last but certainly the best, Mata Hari

YUZUKI REON IS A GODDESS 

That's all she's amazing. As I have said, she missed a few of her lines but it isn't that obvious unless you watched it before. I'm forgiving because she made me believe in her character and CRY FOR HER EVEN IF I BARELY UNDERSTAND THE PLAY LIKE??? In movies, anime and other visual media I only cry for old people and children. Mata Hari was neither and I ended up crying for 3 straight minutes because of the final scene. I even almost cried during the Mata/Armand scenes. She's that good at making me care for the main character.

Production

The production itself was amazing! The way they dragged curtains with the German flag and French flag to represent changing of the countries was honestly brilliant! The costume design was a bit weird for me after learning that Mata Hari was supposed to be drawing inspiration from Indonesia, but at least she wore the sarong(?) during her off scenes.

There was also that part with the stairs and at some point they made a soldier stay up by himself on top of the stairs. I honestly don't know what he was supposed to represent I just end up watching him during my second run cause I was so curious as to what he was supposed to be doing. He ends up dying before Mata is taken to trial but...what was he supposed to represent? The war?


Music


EVERYONE IS A GREAT SINGER LIKE OH MY GOD

I was expecting someone to sound like shit BUT HOLY FUCK THEY ALL SOUND SO GOOD. Definitely worth that 12,000 yen. Even the extras sound really good!

THE ORCHESTRA IS MAGICAL OH MY GOD !!!!! They don't sound like live players, they sound like recordings mY GOD.

Overall



I gave this play a standing ovation TWICE even if I really hated Ton-chan.

10/10 a fucking good play

Why the fuck can't I have a DVD?!

Well, I'm gonna cover 2-3 more plays so

Until next time!
